Is the video clear enough to recognize faces at 15' or so? Even if recorded on infrared?

The video is clear enough so you can recognize faces at 15'. But I don't think so in regards of the infrared.

I have my camera set up where the person has to walk within 8 feet of the camera and those are recognizable. As for the infrared, I don't know.

It is not that great. There is not that much reflection from the plastic dome when using IR, the camera + IR focus is weak. I have my car parked in the drive way and I cannot make out the license plate at all during the night with the IR.

I am using one at my front door. The field of view is illuminated with infrared LEDs using another camera and an out-of-view coach light. I can easily see 50 feet clearly. As you know, this camera does not have ir LEDs, but the sensing elements respond well when the area is lighted with a separate ir LED device. Hope this helps.

I was extremely worried about this, but it really ended up being a non-issue. At a completely ridiculous distance from the TV (6 inches away -- think nose to the screen), you can make out the subpixel layout. At a distance of 3-5 feet, you can make out some additional jagginess on diagonal lines in some very specific circumstances (white text on a back background). At greater than five feet, the effect disappears entirely.

very reflective. You might want to aim it down to avoid confusion between the video image and the real image.

The resolution is reasonable, will show facial features if area is "well" lit as in daylight, useful IR range at best is less than 20ft, you WILL NOT be able to read licences plates. Night operation is ok if plenty of exterior lightning is available. Be careful, these are 9volt cameras NOT 12volt. The GE 45231 Deluxe MicroCam Wired Color Security Video Camera definitely needs to be shielded from the weather. I have several of the GE 45231 camera in operation on my security system. I actually prefer their performance over the expensive high definition cameras. You just need to give them LOTS of lighting. They are very sensitive to over voltage, so again be careful how you power these cameras.

I have been able to see nighttime shots but they are quite grainy as would be expected. IT does recognize movement and take video when there is no light, yes.

Any indoor video is relatively poor unless ample window light is present. I would say it is sufficient for capturing family moments but not for quality video. Personally I like the little camera.

I returned mine after realizing the IR worked for about 6 feet, not nearly enough for night recording unless you're parked, you get what you pay for

Image quality is great on this camera. If you put the model into YouTube you can see feeds from people that are using itI did return mine however. I needed infrared for night time. If you only need a camera without IR, great choice for the cost

Yes, but not real clear. Only if someone walks close to the camera you will recognize. Note: night mode is gray scale, not color.

I finally took a video and yes, it takes nice video. I do not know an exact light reading but the videos indoors with little light are poor quality. It needs a well lit room or sunshine for a good video.

Not that I have noticed. Even in 3D mode, the images are crisp and clear. The key with this device is that the quality of the displayed images is all about the custom adjustment to your head and face which is made simple with it's startup calibration process.

I honestly cannot tell you my man because I tested it to check the quality of the camera first then I plugged it into the computer and it didn't want to be recognized by the computer. I had to do a little tweaking here and there and finally it was recognized and I gotta Tell you that once I saw the quality of the pictures and the video, I was so disappointed and didn't even bother using it anymore. Sorry brother

Camera takes good still shots in 15-20 foot range. There are bigger and better that take video.

Yes, just make sure you don't loud a high quality video so its easy to see and hear

The infrared lights on this camera are not really visible unless you're very close to the camera. The downside to that is that they also don't really illuminate a large area. Unless someone is immediately in front of the camera, within 3-8 feet, you really can't see the lights and you also won't see much detail in the video signal.
